Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) for Solar PV Systems

United Kingdom (UK): The reduced FIT for solar PV systems came into effect on 3rd March (2012).

The Government has announced that FITs for solar PV will be reduced again from August 1, 2012.


The Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) scheme was introduced on 1 April 2010, under powers in the Energy Act 2008. Through the use of FITs, DECC hopes to encourage deployment of additional small-scale (less than 5MW) low-carbon electricity generation, particularly by organisations, businesses, communities and individuals that have not traditionally engaged in the electricity market.
This will allow many people to invest in small-scale low-carbon electricity, in return for a guaranteed payment from an electricity supplier of their choice for the electricity they generate and use as well as a guaranteed payment for unused surplus electricity they export back to the grid.
